lead and zinc. The calculated limit for lead is 57.6 µg/l and for zinc is 132 µg/l. <strong>Syrgis</strong> reported 1.24 µg/l for<br />
lead and 45.7 µg/l for zinc in the effluent.<br />
Referring to the Department’s letter dated August 12, 2011, find:<br />
<strong>Syrgis</strong> must sample only the process wastewater to verify compliance with the limits in 40 CFR 414.85 (Sub<br />
Part H). In accordance with 40 CFR 414.111(b), since <strong>Syrgis</strong> does not have a lead or zinc bearing waste<br />
stream listed in Appendix A, <strong>Syrgis</strong> must comply with the lead and zinc limits shown in the Department letter<br />
dated August 6, 2010. To verify compliance <strong>Syrgis</strong> must sample the process wastewater before it enters the<br />
pond and commingles with the stormwater. <strong>Syrgis</strong>’ process wastewater enters the pond in three different<br />
lines. <strong>Syrgis</strong> must sample each line and may take grab samples (in lieu of flow proportional sampling). <strong>Syrgis</strong><br />
may composite the three samples in proportion to flow and submit only the one composite sample to the lab for<br />
analysis.<br />
The Department cannot verify that the submitted lead and zinc analyses were composited samples. Please<br />
submit the calculation sheet which shows how <strong>Syrgis</strong> determined the percentages. This may be a handwritten<br />
page, an Excel spreadsheet or a formal tabulated form. In either case, the submitted item must clearly show<br />
how <strong>Syrgis</strong> determined the percentages.<br />
Please submit the calculation information within thirty days of receiving this letter/email or by April 20, 2012<br />
(whichever comes first). In the future, please submit the calculation information with each semi-annual report.<br />
If <strong>Syrgis</strong> has concerns or requires more details, please contact Rufus Torrence at (501) 682-0626 or<br />
torrence@adeq.state.ar.us.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Rufus J. Torrence, <strong>Water</strong> Division Engineer<br />
